NEW CHARACTER STILL OF SAM CLAFLIN AS FINNICK - VICTORS REVEALED

Lionsgate

Let's hope we will get a chance to see a lot of Sam Claflin in Catching Fire, the second installment of The Hunger Games, because everything we have seen so far is screech-worthy.

Sam is seen in the newly released Victors Revealed character poster. 

Sam plays the sexy and egotistical victor Finnick, who will join Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) along with other experienced killers who were victors from prior Hunger Games competitions, for the 75th Annual Hunger Games known as the Quarter Quell.  

Catching Fire opens November 22nd.

Former MTV news reporter Larry Carroll took to Twitter Tueday and talked to a fan about his memories of his first meeting Kristen Stewart.

Carroll, also known as the Twilight Guy, is well known to fans for his early interviews with the cast along with his unwavering support of the film Twilight.  Known to host a weekly segment of videos called Twilight Tuesdays, Carroll still shows he has fond memories of the franchise and its cast. 

Carroll tells a fan a brief story about meeting the 15-year old Stewart while she was filming 2007 The Messengers in Canada.  Check it out below.

"@robkris13: @LarryCarroll: ( ◠‿◠) do you remember doing this interview with Kristen on the set of The Messengers? ♥ it! http://youtu.be/u2cxxUn9Usk"

"@LarryCarroll: @robkris13 I do! Thanks for the trip down memory lane! She was 15. It was the first time I met her. In the middle of nowhere..."

"@LarryCarroll: @robkris13 ...on a farm in Regina, Saskatchawan. The other actors kept referring to her as "Jodie Foster's daughter in 'Panic Room"..."

"‏@LarryCarroll: @robkris13 ...she was so young, but everyone knew she was gonna be big. They spoke of her like she was already an Oscar winner..."

"@LarryCarroll: @robkris13 ...a few people even seemed intimidated by her! There was a scene where she had to drive a truck but didn't have her license yet!"

"@LarryCarroll: @robkris13 ...The publicist left me, my camera dude and her alone in that barn for 45-60 minutes. We talked about tons of stuff...."

"@LarryCarroll: @robkris13 ...even at that age, she was very impressive. Even if the movie wasn't. Ha ha."

"@robkris13: @LarryCarroll: wow, th♥x for sharing your memories of meeting Kristen for the first time!! wish we could see the complete interview ( ◠‿◠)"

"@LarryCarroll: @robkris13 That would be located deep inside the MTV Vaults, which is kinda like the final scene of "Raiders of the Lost Ark." Ha ha."

Thanks to @robkris13 for getting Larry to share his memories.

CHRIS HEMSWORTH AS WRESTLER HULK HOGAN?

Off the ropes and into the ring.  Could this be a future Chris Hemsworth venture or just a dream of one of the world's greatest champion wrestlers?

Hulk Hogan a.k.a Terry Bollea, "14-time world champion and reality star" now at the age of 60, tells the Canadian Press that he would like Hemsworth to play him in a biopic movie if one were to be made.

CP: The big headline lately is that you’re developing a movie about your life — is this true? 

HH: It’s not really true. It’s a TMZ headline.... What happened was, I was going through LaGuardia Airport ... this guy asked me a bunch of dumb questions for TMZ and he goes, ’Eh, when are they going to do a bio about your life?’ And I said, ’It’s already in development.’ So now everybody’s rambling like it’s a feature film already. But the truth is ... two kids that are writers in L.A., hot young writers, they did a four-page treatment and I’m telling you they nailed it — they nailed it like they were living in my shoes — and I gave them the green light to go ahead and write the first pass. But that’s all it is. 

CP: TMZ had asked you if your son would play you onscreen and you said that sounds like a good idea. 

HH: I said he’d be perfect for it but I think we need a serious, serious actor that knows what he’s doing. You know who I thought would be good? That guy that did that action movie, ’Thor’ (Chris Hemsworth).


Hemsworth already has experience playing real-life legends with his upcoming Ron Howard biopic film Rush where he plays the legendary Formula 1 race car driver James Hunt. 

However, Hemsworth flying around a wrestling ring in shiny little briefs flexing his muscles while sporting a do-rag and a colorful feathered boa may be something to look forward to. 

Outside of the obvious eye-candy, it could be a pretty good role playing the legendary wrestler onscreen. Outside of the flashy Hulkamainia career side of things, Hogan has had his ups and downs both professionally and personally which bodes well for an interesting story.

KRISTEN STEWART & BREAKING DAWN 2 RACK UP BIG WINS AT THE 2013 TEEN CHOICE AWARDS

Summit

UPDATE:  Kristen Stewart has swept all of her nominations by winning Choice Movie Liplock along with her co-star Robert Pattinson for Breaking Dawn 2.

***************

The Teen Choice Awards did the right thing by honoring one of the biggest and profitable film franchises in history with nominations that MTV did not deem it deserved. 

Kristen Stewart and her film The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 led the movie category with several wins which included Choice Movie Actress, Sci-Fi/Fantasy and Choice Movie Actress, Romance.

MTV chose to ignore one of the most prolific group of fans around when they refused to nominate the final Twilight film for any MTV Movie Awards except for one dealing with being shirtless. 

Twilight fans took issue with the slight and hit MTV back hard across the bow with a protest that received worldwide attention. 

In other news, Chris Hemsworth lost out to Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man for Choice Movie Actor, Action. 

So here are the results of Stewart's wins and read the entire list of winners here.
